Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Diagnostic value of isolated plasma biomarkers and its combination in neurodegenerative dementias: A multicenter cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry 2024-04-06 Biomarkers

    Our results confirmed the diagnostic performance of individual plasma biomarkers Aβ42/Aβ40, p-tau181, NfL, and GFAP in Chinese dementia patients and noted that a combination of these biomarkers may be more accurate in identifying FTD/PSP patients and distinguishing AD from non-AD dementia.

  2. Optimal combinations of CSF biomarkers for predicting cognitive decline and clinical conversion in cognitively unimpaired participants and mild cognitive impairment patients: A multi-cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 69 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-01-17 Biomarkers

    P-tau/Aβ42 is sufficient for predicting progression in AD, with very high accuracy.

  3. Combination of plasma biomarkers and clinical data for the detection of sporadic Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2012-04-07 Biomarkers

    Amyloid β and alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) play an important role in the pathogenesis of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  4. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) are intertwined by mixed dementia (MD) harboring varying degrees of AD pathology in combination with cerebrovascular disease.
